A.C.M.E.
A.C.M.E.'s logo
Short for Agency to Classify and Monitor Evildoers, is a shadow detective agency seeking to arrest Carmen Sandiego, believing she is the key to expose and destroy V.I.L.E.
General
"ACME: Agency to Classify and Monitor Evildoers. We gather data, we monitor criminals, covertly. No one knows we exist; not law enforcement, not VILE, not our own families. We are the only entity more invisible than VILE itself, and it's imperative that we keep it that way."
— Chief of ACME
- Benevolent Conspiracy: A.C.M.E. runs all of the world's law enforcement agencies from the shadows but choose to use their worldwide resources to hunt down dangerous criminals involved in theft, manipulation of financial markets, or poisoning food staples.
- Color Motif: ACME seems to lean heavily towards blue specifically light blue.
- Consummate Professional: With the exception of Devineaux and Argent, most A.C.M.E. agents behave this way, showing little emotion and always doing things by-the-book.
- Good Counterpart: To V.I.L.E. Both are secret organizations with a four letter acronym. Both are equipped with advanced weapons and technology used to hunt down Carmen Sandiego. Both organizations believe that Carmen is working for the other group and vice versa. A.C.M.E is a relatively new organization in stark contrast to V.I.L.E dating back to the medieval ages. A.C.M.E allows its members to resign and come back while V.I.L.E will assassinate anyone who attempts to leave unless they are captured by the police in which they'll subject them to amnesia bringing them back to their lives as normal people. A.C.M.E captures criminals through harmless means, V.I.L.E on the other hand is willing to kill innocent civilians to "leave no witnesses."
- Inspector Javert: They genuinely want to help the world, using their vast resources and networks of agents to expose dangerous criminal organizations such as V.I.L.E. Unfortunately, they're also hunting for Carmen and her crew who ACME believes to be apart of V.I.L.E but in reality, they are also hindering V.I.L.E as well.
- Knockout Gas: All ACME agents possess guns that spray out sleeping gas specifically designed to bring in criminals in for information at their descretion.
- The Men in Black: What the Chief and the majority of their agents are, secretive and shadowy men and women in suits who relentlessly hunt criminals with little emotion. However, we mainly spend time with Agents Devineaux and Argent, neither whom excatly fit the usual mould.
- No Such Agency: They are such a secretive organization that most of the world's law enforcement agencies are working for them without even being aware of it.
- Sinister Shades: A standard part of their agents' uniforms.
- Thou Shalt Not Kill: A.C.M.E. agents are armed with weapons and technology specifically designed to bring criminals in alive. This wasn't always the case and in the past agents did use lethal firearms. But whether before or during the Chief's reign it seems to have become a universal rule within the organization, which makes sense given the Chief's regret for lethally shooting Dexter Wolfe whilst he was unarmed.
Leadership
Chief
Chief Tamara Fraiser
Voiced by: Dawnn Lewis
"A harsh reminder that we live in a world where villains may not always look like villains. Nor heroes like heroes. All that we can be assured of is that VILE will continue to operate from the shadows. So, it is imperative that ACME view the world in shades of gray."
The head and founder of the secret law enforcement agency ACME.
- Adaptational Origin Connection: She is tied to Carmen's origins as the reason her father died and thus the reason V.I.L.E. took in the baby Carmen, all this happening prior to the formation of A.C.M.E.
- Anti-Hero: While she is dedicated to stopping V.I.L.E. and is the head of a secret law enforcement agency, she's also somewhat ruthless and in the season 2 finale becomes Carmen's sworn enemy.
- Big Ol' Eyebrows: they are bigger than even Carmen's, which is saying something.
- Black Boss Lady: She is African-American and is the head of ACME.
- Composite Character: A composite of Lynne Thigpen's Chief from the PBS game shows Where In the World/Where In Time and the hologram computer program talking head from the Where On Earth animated series, being a blonde-haired black lady who only appears to her agents via holographic projection.
- Connected All Along: Thanks to her involvement with the death of Dexter Wolfe, she's this to Carmen and Shadowsan.
- Create Your Own Villain: A downplayed version. The Chief killed Carmen's biological father, Dexter Wolfe, when she thought he was going for a gun. This indirectly led Carmen into the care of V.I.L.E., and led Chief her into her goal of taking them down. When Carmen discovers what the Chief did to her father, she is understandably less than pleased, but instead of wanting to take the woman down, Carmen opts simply to not work with her. Also, Carmen here is more of a cross between an anti-hero and anti-villain.
- Da Chief: Obviously.
- Hologram: She's this in her first appearance using it as a secure method of communication usually when talking to people outside of her headquarters.
- Hypocrite: She chastises Chase for his Hot-Blooded nature but she vows to capture Carmen for double-crossing her. In other words, the Chief is thinking with her emotions instead of her head.
- It's Personal: After Carmen hacks into A.C.M.E. through a backdoor planted by Player, the Chief vows that Carmen will be captured for double-crossing her, going so far as to reactivating Chase Devineaux to bring her down.
- Kind Hearted Cat Lover: She has a pet Persian long-haired cat named "Commander". This turns out to be the passcode for the ACME files
- Lady in a Power Suit: Like Julia, she too wears a pantsuit.
- A Mother to Her Men: Despite her dissatisfaction with Chase's performance in the pursuit of Carmen Sandiego, she doesn't take Carmen's supposed kidnapping and torture of Chase well at all.
- My God, What Have I Done?: The flashback in "The Deep Dive Caper" has her mortified that the person she shot wasn't pulling a gun, but a pair of car keys. This, along with her never finding any evidence of Wolfe's crimes before his villa caught fire, seems to have been My Greatest Failure for her, and drove her to found her own investigative agency specifically to track down V.I.L.E.
- Happens again in Season 4 where Carmen made her realize that she is partially responsible for her life on V.I.L.E island by revealing that she is Dexter Wolfe's daughter.
- Named by the Adaptation: The season two finale reveals her name to be Tamara Fraiser, whereas the identity of her PBS series counterpart was never revealed.
- Not So Above It All: Though she is initially not receptive to Chase's single-minded pursuit of Carmen instead of VILE, by the third season she's more obsessed than him.
- Oh, Crap!: In the season 2 finale, when Carmen is attempting to hack into the ACME database she realizes Carmen phished the passcode from her during their talk about her cat.
- The Password Is Always "Swordfish": Safeguards key A.C.M.E. databases with a password derived from her pet cat's name, which Carmen manages to phish out of her in person.
- Reasonable Authority Figure:
- During season 1, she takes Julia locating Chase in stride and even sees it as a sign that the detective would work well within ACME. She does grow exasperated when Chase sinks two expensive ACME-issued cars and loses his ID card, but still shows concern after he is "kidnapped" by Carmen and vows to Julia that they will get Carmen.
- In Season 2, she is willing to help Carmen after seeing evidence that she is on the side of good. However she changes her tune by the end of the season after Carmen uses her to be able to hack some information from A.C.M.E.
- In Season 4, she sees a brainwashed Carmen Sandiego pulling off many heists despite learning she was good following the Egyptian incident which leads to her believing that A.C.M.E has been tricked by Carmen again deciding having no choice but to use all of A.C.M.E's resources to bring her down.
- The Reveal: She killed Carmen’s father during an Interpol raid on his villa. To be fair, it's clearly shown that she's in shock when he falls to the ground and drops his car keys: her expression before pulling the trigger clearly telegraphs that she thought Wolfe was going to pull a gun on her and she reacted accordingly.
- Shoot Him, He Has a Wallet!: Shot Carmen's father dead when he was pulling car keys out of his pocket, clearly believing that he was drawing a weapon at the time.
- This Means War!: When Carmen has Player hack into ACME’s database, the Chief declares that Carmen has crossed a line and reauthorizes Chase to go after Carmen.
- Thou Shalt Not Kill: Implied; all the agents at A.C.M.E. wield knockout gas guns instead of actual guns, suggesting she believes in using nonlethal methods to take down criminals. The fact that she shot Dexter Wolfe dead when she believed he was going to attack her in her backstory may have something to do with it.
- Walking Spoiler: Given that ACME wasn't even mentioned in promotional material, the fact that she's in the show at all makes her this. Beyond that, season 2's finale reveals she is the linchpin that ties Carmen's past to V.I.L.E., having shot her father as an Interpol agent years before and prompting Shadowsan to take back the infant Carmen to V.I.L.E. island before destroying the home she lived in with her father.
Agents
Chase Devineaux
Chase Devineaux
Voiced by: Rafael Petardi
"LA FEMME ROUGE!"
An Interpol inspector partnered with Julia. He's a reckless man and is obsessed with capturing Carmen Sandiego.
- Adaptational Dumbass: Unlike previous installments that portray Chase as Carmen's Worthy Opponent and an equal to her in intelligence, Chase shows little care or knowledge of history and geography, making him less capable of seeing the big picture of Carmen's plans and his obsession with capturing her makes him blind to the times where she is not the enemy. And when she is an enemy, she's still less of an enemy than VILE. But Season 2 reveals that when he puts his mind to it, he can be very dangerous, and he gradually becomes more insightful and competent in Season 3.
- Adaptational Nationality: He was originally an American in the games he appeared in; here, he's French.
- Adaptational Wimp: Chase Devineaux's first appearance showed him as Carmen's former partner, and the player's mysterious liaison in Word Detective; he and Carmen share a begrudging Worthy Opponent respect, and he's the only other agent that she doesn't catch besides the player. In this show, he is an arrogant Butt-Monkey that is more bluster than badass, although come Season 3 he is slowly getting better at his job.
- Adaptation Dye-Job: In previous installments, Chase has red hair (Carmen’s dossier on him states that his hair is auburn). Here, Chase has brown hair.
- Anti-Hero: Chase is arrogant, rash, and doesn't listen to his partner. He's also trying to apprehend a criminal he believes is dangerous.
- Badass Longcoat: His detective longcoat is pretty fitting. With it torn in the second to last episode of Season 1, he gets a Lucky Cat jacket instead.
- Berserk Button: Julia always being right and her interest in social studies. He does grow out of it throughout the show.
- Brains and Brawn: The Brawn to Julie's Brains since he's the one willing to chase after Carmen by any means necessary.
- Butt-Monkey: In just the first several minutes of the first episode he gets pick-pocketed by Carmen, falls off a room onto the car he and Julia were using and gets the airbag blowing up in his face when he misses the train Carmen is on.
- Character Development: At first, he's always about jumping into action without thinking. Season 2 shows off that he's capable of investigative work that could put ACME to shame and he realizes that he has been such a jerk to Julia. After Carmen leaves a bunch of stolen masks for him and finding out the authorities have captured Neal the Eel with a bunch of cheap knockoffs he wonders if Julia was right all along. He is also willing to share credit with Zari, showing that he doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes he made with Julia. In Season 4, he turns to Julia for help acknowledging her as an excellent detective and not disregarding her as his subordinate. He learns to appreciate Julia's interest of history and geography and is willing to listen calling her a "wise woman, expert in fascinating facts and interesting things" in stark contrast to his statement of "dull facts about boring things".
- Determinator: He won't give up his chase against Carmen, something that Carmen respects.
- Dumb, but Diligent: Devineaux may be reckless and not the brightest guy in ACME, but he is by far the most committed and dedicated man on the job to catch Carmen Sandiego. As the series goes on, the dumb part drops.
- Establishing Character Moment: His first scene has him (with Julia) question the motives behind the elusive thief Carmen Sandiego, before cockily assuming he will catch and arrest her. And when Julia attempts to find a reason behind Sandiego's motives, Chase brushes her statements off to the point that he gets distracted when Carmen Sandiego appears for real. And when Julia suggest calling for back-up, Chase hastily refuses before running off after Carmen.
- "Eureka!" Moment: Finally figures out the location of VILE after he dreams of Julia showcasing a Lucky Cat statue in a shelf of fedoras stating that "one of these things is not like the others".
- Expy: His trench coat and almost zealous pursuit of Carmen makes him one of Inspector Zenigata, though he's a little less competent than Pops.
- Fake Ultimate Hero: Both A.C.M.E. and V.I.L.E. mistake his endless pursuit of Carmen Sandiego as proof of competence he doesn’t quite possess — at least, not yet.
- French Jerk: A French and Jerk with a Heart of Gold. Though he starts growing out of being a jerk during Season 2.
- Gratuitous French: He usually speaks English but will sometimes speak a couple of French words such as calling Carmen "La Femme Rouge".
- Heel Realization: Finally realizes Carmen may not be the villain he thought in "The Masks of Venice Caper" and begins to question his superiors and stand up for her in "The Jolly Good Show Caper".
- Hero Antagonist: Chase Devineaux, the Interpol agent actively searching for Carmen's whereabouts, attempting to arrest her.
- Heroic Willpower: Say what you will about Inspector Devineaux, but he is nothing if not determined. He continues to chase Carmen and her friends all over the globe through the first season, and is perfectly willing to sink cars to do so. In the season finale, he manages to hold out against V.I.L.E’s truth extractor by screaming La Marsellaise (the French national anthem) at the top of his lungs, even at the risk of permanent brain damage.
- Hidden Depths:
- Despite his recklessness, he's far from incompetent as shown under the proper circumstances. He's able to resist V.I.L.E.'s mind-reading machine initially and is smart enough to activate his A.C.M.E. pen after Carmen frees him so the Chief will see him in danger, ping his location and send a rescue party.
- While suffering from Adaptational Dumbass in this incarnation, Season 2 goes to prove that he does have actually have rather amazing deduction skills on his own, so much in fact that he singlehandedly uncovers the location of V.I.L.E.'s headquarters in the span of a couple weeks with only loosely tied reports and records from Interpol's archive and goes out to apprehend them. More impressive when remembering the fact that Chief and A.C.M.E. spent some decades searching for the same base, not to mention proof of their existence beforehand and were unsuccessful. It's a shame that he missed them by that much with them going into hiding not too long after.
- In Season 3, he begins to reassess his views on Carmen Sandiego as being merely a criminal and begins to reconsider Argent's belief that Carmen has more complicated motivations.
- Hopeless with Tech: Chase has trouble with A.C.M.E.'s touchscreen tech even when Julia is trying to talk him through it. This leads to him sinking another A.C.M.E. car!
- Inspector Javert: He is convinced Carmen Sandiego is behind every crime, even without any evidence to confirm it. Until he finally starts to catch on to Carmen's good nature in Season 3.
- Iron Butt Monkey: Chase seems to get the short end of the stick a lot. Still, he shrugs off falling from a rooftop onto a car hood in favor of yelling at a retreating Carmen.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold:
- He may be cold and dismissive of his partner, but the season 1 finale does have him realize that he's been a bit harsh on her lately and decides to buy her a gift as an apology.
- In "The African Diamond Caper", he becomes much more humble about Julia's way of thinking and — after having a dream of her giving him a hint about his investigations — he calls her his "Lucky Cat".
- In "The Masks of Venice Caper", he manages to get aboard Carmen's speedboat which he was pursuing on foot and - whilst she gets away - retrieves several priceless masks. Rather the hog all the glory of his first real victory in a long time he admits that he didn't do it alone, both sharing the accomplishment with Zari and subtly admitting that Carmen was the one who really saved the day.
- Leeroy Jenkins: He's not incompetent but more of a "act first think later" kind of guy and prone to jumping to conclusions. He begins to start thinking more critically in Seasons 2 and 3.
- Meaningful Name: His first name is "Chase", befitting a detective who actively hunts down Carmen Sandiego whenever she strikes a new location. "The Egyptian Decryption Caper" reveals it to be a nickname - that he gave to himself.
- Missed Him by That Much: In season two, he singlehandedly discovers the location of V.I.L.E. HQ on his own within a couple weeks where it took Chief decades to accomplish even proof of their existence... only to arrive a week later after their bombing their headquarters and going into hiding.
- Old Cop, Young Cop: The relatively older and experienced Old Cop to Julia's relatively younger and new Young Cop.
- Oh, No... Not Again!: After his first failed attempt to catch Carmen, he pops out this every time he's fooled again, usually after a Rapid-Fire "No!".
- Perma-Stubble: Chase has a nine o' clock shadow.
- Phrase Catcher: Every time he runs into Carmen, she will always reply: "Not a good time."
- Psychic Static: He tries to resist a V.I.L.E. mind probe by continuously singing the French national anthem.
- Rage Against the Reflection: At one point Devineaux chews himself out in the mirror, both for his frequent failures and for snapping at Julia earlier.
- Rapid-Fire "No!": Has a tendency to do this whenever things go wrong for him, which is often.
- Reassigned to Antarctica: His actions in the end of Season 1 leads Chief to reinstate him into Interpol to cool his heels. What she doesn't tell him until he returns is she has made him a file clerk and not his previous rank of field agent, likely to keep him away from any V.I.L.E. investigations. While depressed at first, he uses his new connections to dig up dirt on the V.I.L.E. shell companies he knows about and discovers the location of V.I.L.E.'s base, only a week too late after they scrubbed it, but he got closer than Chief has in 20 years.
- Smarter Than You Look: Demonstrated whenever he goes after V.I.L.E rather than Carmen. He successfully tracked down V.I.L.E's first headquarters in weeks, something that A.C.M.E. has failed to do for years, and immediately deduces that Neal the Eel's escape is the work of V.I.L.E, knowing their modus operandi well enough that the empty room doesn't surprise him at all.
- Spanner in the Works: Him barging in on Countess Cleo's dinner in "The Duke of Vermeer Caper" is what gives Carmen and Ivy extra time to get the last of the stolen Vermeer capers. Unfortunately for him, this is one of the reasons why VILE concludes (wrongly) that he is working with Carmen.
- String Theory: He keeps a map of the world on his apartment wall that he uses to pin down and connect shipping manifests that he traced back to the "Valuable Imports, Lavish Exports" company during Season 2. It's what allows him to figure out one of the manifests corresponds to a place that doesn't actually exist.
- Took a Level in Badass: While still not without his Butt-Monkey moments, Devineaux is far more capable as an agent pursuing Carmen in Season 3 than he was in Season 1, to the point where he comes incredibly close to capturing her twice, first in "The Luchadora Tango Caper" and then in "The Masks of Venice Caper".
- Trademark Favorite Food: Often seeing popping mints.
Julia Argent
Julia "Jules" Argent
Voiced by: Charlet Chung
"Well, what if, for whatever reason, Carmen Sandiego were a thief who only steals from other thieves?"
A partner to Chase Devineaux. She loves history and is much more level headed than her partner.
- Adaptational Nationality: An ambiguous case here. While she appears Asian and was born in Hong Kong, she spoke with an American accent in Treasures of Knowledge and it was never specified where she was brought up. The novelization makes her out to be half-British and half-Chinese.
- Adaptational Personality Change: Julia's main character trait in her games was that she believed that Carmen had the potential for good since they used to be partners and that Carmen had twisted benevolent intentions for her crimes. Here, since she and Carmen don't have that history, Julia takes a more objective approach to Carmen's modus operandi, that Carmen treats stealing as a game but may have different intentions than what appears on the surface.
- Adaptational Wimp: In Treasures of Knowledge, she was an experienced ACME agent who was also partners with Carmen before the latter decided to go rogue. In here, she shows no signs of badassery and is mostly there as the voice of reason and her knowledge of geography and artifacts.
- Adaptation Dye-Job: She had black hair in Treasures of Knowledge whereas it's navy blue here.
- Affectionate Nickname: Soon after meeting her, Carmen gives her the nickname "Jules".
- Ambiguously Gay: Julia hasn't shown any romantic interest in men. When she first meets Carmen, Julia clarified she's waiting for her work partner when Carmen curiously asks about her "partner". Some of her interactions with Carmen have romantic subtext. In the interactive game, depending on the choices made, Julia will receive all the stolen items from Carmen, who also leaves a bouquet of red roses, causing Julia to noticeably blush.
- Beleaguered Assistant: She's Chase's rookie partner whose sound observations into their investigations regarding Carmen's actions and motives are more than Chase is willing to consider.
- Boyish Short Hair: Downplayed. Julia has short hair and dresses in a pants suit, but is quite feminine in personality.
- Brains and Brawn: The Brains to Chase's brawn, as she's the one who logically asks questions in regards to Carmen's motives and spouts out geography trivia.
- Brainy Brunette: Well, Julia's hair is more blue now, but she's still intelligent and analytical.
- Closer to Earth: She tends to have more reasonable reactions to Carmen's supposed crime scenes, willing to consider that Carmen is not the main criminal.
- Composite Character: She shares her background as a rookie detective with Shadow Hawkins from Treasures of Knowledge.
- Establishing Character Moment: Her first scene has her (with Chase) questioning the motives behind the elusive thief, Carmen Sandiego. When Chase asks why she would be in Poitiers for a heist, Julia astutely guesses and lists a number of Poitiers' historical artifacts before being brushed off by Chase. And while the latter is spouting off his supposed competence, it's Julia's observation that catches Carmen about to pull of her heist. And before the Inspector runs off impulsively, she suggests calling for back-up.
- Friend on the Force: Unlike her colleagues, Julia is willing to give Carmen the benefit of the doubt and work with her.
- Hypercompetent Sidekick: Though she's technically his partner and Chase isn't so much incompetent as just obsessively focused on capturing Carmen, Julia's generally level-headedness and acute observations make her much more useful in the investigation into Carmen and V.I.L.E. than Chase in Season 1. This eventually leads to her getting promoted and officially made into an ACME agent.
- Lady in a Power Suit: She wears a pantsuit.
- Nice Girl: Julia has shown to be consistently polite.
- Old Cop, Young Cop: The relatively younger and new Young Cop to Chase's older and experienced Old Cop.
- Put on a Bus: In season 3, after realizing her heart isn’t in capturing Carmen since she believes her to be good, she leaves ACME for a job in academia. She ends up returning to the field in Season 4.
- Sexy Backless Outfit: Her formal party dress, most notably in "To Steal Or Not To Steal" definitely qualifies as this.
- Smart People Wear Glasses: Wears glasses and usually spews trivia about the stolen artifacts.
- Token Good Teammate: Downplayed. Julia works for ACME, an organization trying to catch and take down VILE, a secret but dangerous group. However, Julia tends to see the bigger picture unlike her associates and believes Carmen Sandiego isn't a criminal.
- Undying Loyalty: An unusual example. Julia is part of ACME and said group think of famed thief Carmen Sandiego as a cold-hearted criminal. However, Julia believes that Carmen is a heroic thief and is the sole ACME worker to defend Carmen. Her belief in Carmen is so staunch that Julia even quits ACME, not having the heart to try and capture the thief.
- Women Are Wiser: Compared to Chase's tunnel-vision, she's seen as the wise one of the two.
- Youthful Freckles: Julia has freckles on her face to emphasize her youthfulness compared to her older partners.
Agent Zari
Zari
Voiced by: Sharon Muthu
"We're a covert surveillance agency, Devineaux. Details matter."
An agent of ACME who becomes Julia’s partner in Season 2 and Chase's partner in Season 3.
- Ascended Extra: She appears only a handful of times in Season 1, during which she rarely speaks and isn't even named on camera. Season 2 made her a recurring character and Julia's partner, and in Season 3 she becomes Chase's partner. The end credits for her first episode did say her name, however, unlike her partner in the first season who doesn’t even speak, implying that having her become a recurring character may have been the plan all along.
- Consummate Professional: She is quiet, cold and bluntly straightforward.
- Deadpan Snarker: Very briefly, in "The Masks of Venice Caper", she makes a number of insults at the expense of Chase's silly costume from the previous episode.note
- Foil: Serves as this to both Julia and Chase regarding their opinions on Carmen; while both of them are willing to question the Chief on Carmen's true motives, she remains staunchly devoted to her.
- Suddenly Bilingual: She is fluent in Italian when Zack (who is dressed as an Italian museum curator) pretends his English is not good.
Unnamed ACME Agent
Unnamed ACME Agent
Voiced by: Liam O'Brien
- Consummate Professional: Like Zari, he is always on the job.
- No Name Given: No one in particular ever refers to him and the end credits refer to him as "Acme Agent".
- The Quiet One: He doesn't speak throughout the majority of the show. The only time when he's shown speaking is after they briefly capture Shadowsan before being asked by Zari about any possessions Shadowsan has.Agent Zari: Find any weapons or I.D?
Unnamed Agent: (holds up Shadowsan's cellphone) Just this. I'll have H.Q unlock it. - Recurring Extra: He occasionally appears with Agent Zari as her partner whenever the latter is not partnered with Devineaux or Julia. He lacks any dialogue nor any impact to the show.
- Satellite Character: He is usually the one to fill the role as Agent Zari's partner whenever Devineaux and Julia are partnered with each other.
- The Stoic: Like most ACME agents, he is generally expressionless and quiet.
- Super Identikit: He's this in Season 2 Episode 1 and is able to draw up a perfect sketch of the perpetrators when Devineaux is recovering in the hospital after he was abducted by Coach Brunt and Shadowsan and left unconscious and mentally tortured by "the truth extractor" to tell any information about ACME before being rescued by the local authorities.

- White Collar Worker: This appears to be his job as he was tasked to report to his boss about any suspicious activities in Botswana.
Icelandic Police Officer
Icelandic Police Officer
Voiced by: Rafael Petardi
- By-the-Book Cop: Despite the low crime rates in Iceland, he still enforces the law as he arrests Gray for tresspassing and theft as well as checking up on him. Although he's reluctant to arrest Zack for having pet turtlenote stating that the penalty is more of a fine than jail time. He doesn't arrest Zack when he runs after him and decides to do some research about the laws on turtles.
- Nice Guy: He checks up on an imprisoned Gray to see if he's well fed and converses with him.
- No Name Given: He's referred to as "Policeman" in the end credits.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: When an imprisoned Gray tells him he didn't know what he was doing in the house, the officer rebukes him stating that the stolen house items he possessed meant he stole them.
- Small Role, Big Impact: The officer rearrests Gray when he turns himself in.
